WTF is an "African-American leader"? How does one go about certifying the legitimacy of an "African-American leader"? How does one define an "African-American"? Do all "African-Americans" follow "African-American leaders"? Why don't we hear about "European-American leaders", or "Asian-American leaders" or "American-American leaders"? Do "African-Americans" even need leaders? Can't they think for themselves?
I smell an agenda, here, and I don't think that agenda really benefits the average "African-American"...
Bingo.
